Cenotaphs at Mandore

The ‘Mandore gardens’, with its charming collection of temples and memorials, and its high rock terraces, is a major attraction of Jodhpur. The gardens house the Chhatris (cenotaphs) of many rulers of the erstwhile princely state of Marwar. Prominent among them is the chhatri of Maharaja Ajit Singh of Marwar, built in 1793.

The gardens have fallen into disrepair – very unfortunate when I visited India this January – and something that I hope will be rectified in the not too distant future.
